Producer Description
"‘Mr George’ joined his father, John, at the family business almost a century ago and became a key advocate of single malt whisky at a time when most whisky went into blends. ‘The father of single malt’ as he’s been called, George Urquhart was a true pioneer and instrumental to the success and popularity of single malt whisky. The fifth and final edition in the Legacy – a Glen Grant from 1954 – exemplifies his philosophy and spirit.
"This fifth and final release in the ‘Mr George’ Legacy Series pays tribute to Mr George Urquhart’s unrelenting desire to create the perfect dram. Referred to by renowned whisky expert, Charlie MacLean as ‘the father of single malt’, ‘Mr George’ was fascinated by the interaction of spirit, cask and time. This exceptional single malt – limited to 130 bottles in celebration of our 130th anniversary – is a fitting tribute to a lifetime’s work which endures today at Gordon & MacPhail."
